"You're like me," his father told him. "I also loved books when I was your age. I would spend hours in your grandfather's library devouring everything I could."

Scorpius faked a smile for his father. It was true, he did love books. In fact, he loved books so much that he'd read Hogwarts: A History all the way through. The last chapters he'd read twice, in fact, once to know what had happened when his father was at Hogwarts and once to understand it. And after reading that, and knowing what he'd done, Scorpius knew he was nothing like him.
